Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1887-04-08

From present indications the little
breeze that was raised by the announce
ment that negro companies would parti-
cipate in the national drill at Washing
ton in May will not become gale. Some
of the companies which Withdrew from
the contest because they did not want to
compete with negro companies have re.
considered their action, and will carry
out their original programme. The fact
that the negro companies which gave rise
to the excitement belong to Virginia
regiment, and are to go to Washington
with the approval of Virginia's Governor,
has mad quite modifying effect upon the
first Impressions respecting the part
negro companies were to play in the
drill.
In Virginia and at W ashington the
presence of negro companies does not APP
pear to be regarded as countenancing
anything bordering on social equality"
The negro companies will have a camp
by themselves, their own commissary and
their own whisky. If there is ball on
the programme they will doubtless hire a
hall for themselves, and Washington has
big enough colored population to furnish
cOlored girls enough TO make the ball sue
cess. There is no reason why there should
be anything approaching a recognition
of social equality. Still there may be
those who think otherwise, aud there is
no reason why they shouldn't have their
opinion and act on it, too. The best way
to avoid any unnecessary discussion of
the matter is to let everybody take the
course be thinks best. Ii is not improba-
BILE, however, that il most localities there
is entire willingness to accept the judg-
ment of Virginia rs to whether the ques-
ton of social equality is raised by the
admission of negro companies to the drill.

PenitentiarY Ahnses.

Mr.. George W. Gable and others have
had within the last few years much to
say OF the alleged abuses in the peniten-
tiaries of the Southern States. The Geor-
gia penitentiary, especially, has been at
tackled. 1t cannot be truthfully denied
that there are abuses in the penitentiary
of this State, and the system under which
it is managed might be much improved.
But recent disclosures regarding some of
the penitentiarles in the West and North
suggest that Mr.. Gable and his coadiu-
tors might find these prisons deserving
the most scathing criticism.
At least two Western States have re-
Gently furnished examples Of outrageous
ill-treatment OF convicts. Some condem-
nation of the guilty parties appeared in
the newspapers, but it has not vet ac-
complshed a reform. In New YorKState.
just now, the Auburn prison furnishes an
example of abuses such as were never
known in tue Georgia penitentiary, and
1t is noticeable that MIR. Cable and his
coadjutors are notinterestiug themselves
even TO the smallest extent. Some men
ton of tho Auburn abuses has been made
in the public prints, but there has not
been any positive condemnation OF them.
Couvicts In the prison have been made
insane by starvation and cruelty, and
one Of the keepers makes sworn state
ment that thirteen conviets died from
neglect in single month.
In view OF the fact that the Republi-
